Some setting better leave it at auto

What do you mean better at auto?

So does this mean that there are no benefits to making changes to the other settings in the bios for stability or performance?

Thanks

exact, respectively these setting r used by the xtreme-benchers for sub-zero etc.. no benefit on air or water.

Weird boot problem..

When been off for a while. Power on will pass post but then halt at a flashing cursor at the top left. Reset button does nothing. Needs full power off. The mobo code LED shows AE (Legacy Boot Event). Powering off and back on does not help. If I go into the BIOS and just save without changing anything,
boot is successful.


I don't have any USB drives etc plugging in. So it's a head scratcher what is causing this... anyone advise please?

Switching your actual used bios for the free one does not help?

Free one? you mean the other bios?
That still has the original "older bios" in that. If this is what you mean, it makes no difference at all :|

[FedericoUY]

Yes, I meant the other bios, the one you are not using. Good luck then.

what do u mean by free Federico ? aint free bios for MIVE, just the better one 1850

I mean not used/actual bios he was booting up, but the other one, from the 2 the board has onboard to boot up. I'm talking about phisical bios chips in the motherboard, not bios/uefi versions.

yes board has a switch to actually select the bios u want, he is using one of them but he has other problems, im helping him since some days and we get it work nicely except this problem that i suspect can be marvel

im runing all intel and no probs at all

u got this board ?

cheers

Great. Hope you get the solution soon! Cheers.

I've still got the Internal PLL Overvolt set to ON as you said to do Sergio
I powered the PC on today, and it went on and booted fine. But in saying that, it was not every time this happens. Sometimes it will boot and sometimes I get the flashing cursor.

Suppose we will need to see if the Internal PLL been set to ON resolves it. Don't like the fact it's called OVERVAULT lol... So I assume this will not cause adverse effects on the chip over time?

u will be ok mate

Overvolt isnt dangerous.. its just tells your cpu that it can use more voltage if it needs it, otherwise if you ask for lets 5ghz with 1,5V which is like 150-160W, well if the cpu is limited to 130W, it will bluescreen all the time.

Its just a delimiter.

He was talking of internall PLL

Has gone back to bios 1409 from 1850/1902
I had many problems with voltset over 5.0GHZ with the last 2 bios

I am on watercooling
1409 best to xtream oc

So on this board should HPET be on or off, does it cause latency issues?

[Martin.v.r]

Clear cosmos can not be done on the motherboard with bios1902
the best of my I7 2600K which x57 is happy with the high volt
but have not been able to put the same bios setup or it was close, the bios as I have seen with bios 1409
1409 has hig multi not 1850 an 1902

can i just switch the bios with the button and flash 1409 ?

lol cosmos

[andressergio]

is this board IVY bridge ready and pci express 3.0 ready?.

i don't really care for pci express 3.0 ready since it's probably gonna take them a year to get video cards for it. but the ivy bridge support is nice for <1 Year upgrade.
